WARNING
Towing with Trucks and Buses
If you intend to tow your trailer with a truck or heavy commercial vehicle you should fit a hitch system to minimize the
lash effect of the commercial suspension and distance from the rear axle to the tow point. Truck suspension can be
harsh, particularly in off road conditions. The long distance between the axle center and the point of attachment can be
quite long further exacerbating the effect putting stress on components.
Using a shock absorbing hitch will reduce the effect considerably.
Hitch
Your trailer is fitted with an ADR compliant Polyblock Off-Road hitch. It is important to maintain and inspect the hitch
regularly as per the maintenance schedule. The hitch should be attached to the vehicle tow bar as pictured with the
spring loaded “T” pin in place and the “R” clip inserted below. Always use the correct size tongue so that the Polyblock
receiver cannot twist or rotate on the tongue.
